Jerry and Brent feeling it. Interesting Bertha > CB 2nd set opener

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

In true perverse fashion, the Dead backed Dylan at his lowest point. But the way he sings this - on the wrong chords - has an insane urgency.

Great version at the end of an amazing 2nd set sequence. Love what Bobby plays at the end, and Jerry throughout.

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.
